This is how it happens. Police dept. investigate all rape allegations vigorously and mark 21.3% as false reports. New officer gets a case wrong, media outrage ensues, now police are "extra careful" to get "the right closure".

Before anyone doubts, she was raped. Proven beyond a shadow of a doubt in this case. The guy had photos on his camera of her (and others) being assaulted.

The police aren't always right. We know that. In this case they doubted the girl because, let's face it, she invited doubt. But they should have done their homework more thoroughly.

When they falsely convict men, there's hardly any outrage. When they falsely convict women of a far lesser crime, they pay out $150,000 and get national media attention. And retellings years after the fact, as seen here.

Now I expect their "false report" statistic to fall into line with national averages. Not because they were wrong before, but because the standard of evidence will be so much higher. Perhaps higher than the standard used to arrest and charge men with rape.

And thus the statistic falls further, which is used as evidence that false reports "never" happen.
